Don’t get me wrong, I love movies, that’s why I got into reviewing movies. But the one downside is unlike your typical moviegoer, I can’t pick and choose which movies to see. I have see all of ‘em, the good, the bad, the bad, the bad, and the ugly…and the bad. However, seeing all these bad movies is all worth it when I get to review a movie that I actually want to see.

“Match point”. Woody Allen’s latest movie starring Jonathan Rhys-Myers, Emily Mortimer, and the absolutely beautiful Scarlette Johansson. This dramatic little tale, shot entirely in Britain, is about a former tennis pro who…I’m sorry, but I cannot say enough how unbelievably gorgeous Scarlette Johansson is, but I digress.

Rhys-Myers plays former tennis pro Chris Wilton who is now in the twilight of his career and is not longer competitive, but now teaches…ok ok, have you see her? Sorry to keep coming back to this, but she is 100% perfect. Beautiful blonde hair, an adorable smile, perfect face, she combines classic beauty with girl next door looks, and she’s only 21. It’s refreshing to see an attractive, young female actress that’s not going out coke benders and dropping pounds faster than a virgin with a British prostitute.
Ok, focusing now. Woody Allen really comes through again and shows us that he’s still got it. After his last few movies, flew somewhat under the radar without much fan fare, Match Point gets the recognition from the…it’s just that she has the most down to earth personality too, I saw her on Letterman a few nights ago and not only was she flawlessly beautiful, but you can tell she’s just a normal 21 year old with an extraordinary job…and an extraordinary body. If I was left alone in a room with her, I wouldn’t be able to be held accountable for my actions.

Sorry

.This was the second straight movie in which Woody Allen does not make an appearance, perhaps showing that he no longer can do it all, write, direct and act. Or maybe he is respectfully taking a bow out and letting better known actors take the reigns. Better known actors like, say, Scarlett Johansson who is also in Allen’s next movie “Scoop”, I don’t know what it’s about, but I bet it’s going to be awesome if Scarlett’s in it, how could it be bad, I mean, who doesn’t want to see a fantastic, stunning, elegant girl take you on a two hour cinematic journey. You know she helped campaign for John Kerry, I bet she’s real smart and worldly and cares a lot about people less fortunate than her. She’s part Polish, you know. I’m part Polish; I bet we would have a lot in common. She turned down the lead role in “The Parent Trap”, which was so smart, that movie sucked, Lindsay Lohan was in it instead and now look at her, she’s a coked up whore.

That was uncalled for and I apologize.

This movie also shows Allen’s dramatic side. Long known as a comic mastermind, now he gets a chance to show his…and the name Scarlett, that’s so her, it’s not one of these weird Hollywood names like Apple or Pilot Inspector, but it’s not a run of the mill name like Jen or Kate, it’s Scarlett, so classy and so professional, but also very fun and perky, it’s the most perfect name ever.
On a scale from 1 to 200, I’d give it a 200 as in I must say 200 feet away from her at all times or risk violating my restraining order.

I love you, Scarlett.
